This is the first appearance of JD Simo & Luther Dickinson at the Big Blues Bender.
2025

Prepare for a powerful, genre-bending experience as celebrated guitarists JD Simo and Luther Dickinson team up with drummer Adam Abrashoff in a collaboration that stretches and Luther bring a fresh spin to old hill country blues, blending it with soulful grooves, psychedelic flourishes, and a raw, rootsy sound that’s only enhanced by Adam’s hypnotic beats.

Their collaborative debut, Do the Rump!, showcases this unique blend and sets the stage for an unforgettable live show. Luther, of the Grammy-nominated North Mississippi Allstars, and JD, whose credits span everyone from Jack White to Stevie Nicks, weave together intense, layered soundscapes. Their sets are spontaneous and fiery, with the pair switching between bass, baritone, and guitar, creating an immersive musical landscape. As JD puts it, “It’s a blast to play, man—just big, fat grooves and all kinds of wild, back-and-forth riffing. It’s like we’re just hangin' out, lettin' it rip, and you’re along for the ride.”

Join JD Simo, Luther Dickinson, and Adam Abrashoff for a wild, greasy ride through blues history and beyond—perfect for the Big Blues Bender!
